This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in September 2002 on the UK Continental Shelf north of 62N on board the RRS Discovery. This field operation was the second part of the programme to complete mapping of the area. Subsurface seismic data were collected using an airgun, multi-tip spark array and a sub-bottom profiler. Gravity data, magnetometer data and data from a hydrographic echo sounder were also collected. Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report IR/02/198.

| Abstract | This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in September 2002 on the UK Continental Shelf north of 62N on board the RRS Discovery. This field operation was the second part of the programme to complete mapping of the area. Subsurface seismic data were collected using an airgun, multi-tip spark array and a sub-bottom profiler. Gravity data, magnetometer data and data from a hydrographic echo sounder were also collected. Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report IR/02/198. |
| Lineage | Geophysical equipment types used included: Airgun/Sleeve Gun, Echo Sounder, Gravimeter, Magnetometer, Pinger and Sparker. The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. For more detailed information on the acquisition equipment and data collection techniques, operational standards, data processing methods and quality control procedures used on this survey see the Report of Survey/Cruise Report and associated documentation where available. The information available may vary depending on the age of the survey. Data are checked and loaded to the BGS Coastal and Marine data management system following BGS marine data management procedures. |
